Confidence

Barbie, Bender, N & I went on a different walk last night. The walk that requires us to cross the train line. It has probably been a few months since we have walked that way because Barbie is scared of trains, and would stop and refuse to walk any further towards the level crossing.

Last night though she did really well. She watched the trains go past with only slight trepidation and willingly took treats. She didn't freeze up at all when we were heading back although she was clearly a little hypervigilant.

I am so proud of my little greyhound. She has gotten much more confident in the past 6 months. I think CGC training has helped her as well as taking her to many different places to socialise with other people and dogs.

That must be such a good feeling to see her feeling more comfortable and confident. Makes me smile!

Yay for Barbie! Well done! And yeah - I think CGC training is great - in fact, I think ALL pet dogs should have to do it as a requirement - it makes such a difference if all dogs had to have a certain level of everyday manners and owners had to commit that time to train them - might stop some stupid, irresponsible people from impulse buying dogs!
